All his other wives came back, to share the Co-Op ham tea

I've just put a butternut squash into the oven to roast, so I can make... well, actually, I haven't decided yet what I'm going to make out of it. However, as I peeled its sticky label off I noticed that it was "the co-operative butternut squash".

Has anyone ever bought an uncooperative butternut squash ? Was it tricky getting it into the oven ?

When scooping this evening (as suggested above) I did notice that the skin had gone soft. So... it's edible? It's so vinyl-like when uncooked that I'd just assumed it was one of those things (like bananas) where it's best avoided.

well, it hasn't killed me yet....

And tastes rather nice, in a horribly healthy non-meaty way.
